Dear Jim,
Again, when you say "not possible" that Terah lived to be 205
years, then you are applying "modern" definitions to what was possible and not
possible. You are using eisegesis NOT exegesis. Furthermore, the plain meaning
of "shannah" is year. The context also confirms that. The TEXT does NOT indicate
that "shannah" should not be taken otherwise. Finally, remember that Yigal also
showed from Exodus 12 that the 1st of Nisan was the beginning of the religious
calendar that is to last "12 new moons" NOT "6 new moons." No society that I
know of including the ancient American societies had a calendar that lasted only
6 months before a new year. In fact, they usually had a civil and religious
calendar.
